The 2001 National Household Travel Survey is a combination
of the Federal Highway Administration's Nationwide Personal
Transportation Survey (NPTS) and the Bureau of Transportation
Statistics American Travel Survey (ATS), which were conducted
separately in previous years. The National Household Travel Survey
serves as the nation's inventory of daily personal travel. It collects
data on daily trips including purpose of the trip, means of
transportation used, travel time, vehicle occupancy, driver
characteristics, and vehicle attributes. These data are collected for
all personal trips, all modes and purposes, all trip lengths, and all
areas of the country, urban and rural. The 2001 National Household
Travel Survey collected additional data on trips to a destination 50
miles or more from home (long-distance travel) that started from home
and ended at home during a four-week travel period. This was a change
from previous years, where the travel range was 75 miles or more. Part
1, the Household File, contains data unique to a household, such as
the number of household vehicles, household income, the relationship
between household members, demographic information for household
members, and educational level of the household respondent. Part 2,
the Person File, contains demographic information, driver status,
information on travel to work, miles driven, customer satisfaction,
and Internet use. Part 3, the Vehicle File, contains data relating to
each of the household's vehicles, including annualized vehicle miles.
Part 4, the Travel Day Trip File, contains data about each trip the
person made on the household's randomly assigned travel day. Parts 5
and 6 are weight files for the Household File (Part 1) and the Person
File (Part 2), respectively.
